I have just successfully upgrade gnome 2.4 to gnome 2.6. At least
that's the message I received after running the upgrade script. :)
Before the upgrade all was working well. After the upgrade
I have some problems. I cannot startx from a regular user login.
When trying, I get the following errors:
$startx
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old logfile "/var/log/XFree86.0.log.old"
When reporting a problem (blah, blah)
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority
$
If I startx from a root login, I get to gnome but it seems to load very
slow.
I also am not able to su from a normal login to root.
$su
